The scope also includes site development, utilities, road and traffic improvements, parking, security upgrades, and procurement, delivery, coordination, and installation of furniture, fixtures, equipment, information technology, audiovisual, security, signage, environmental graphics, and specialty equipment. An optional alternate would add an approximately 2,075-square-foot county morgue with a procedure room, conference room, restrooms, body cooler, and independent dock/sallyport.
